Story & Lore

Legend has it that the first Fishing Club in Whisker Woods was founded centuries ago by a secretive feline order known as The Whiskerati.

Welcome to Whisker Woods, where fishing is sacred. Cats don't just chase fish here. They chase secrets.

You arrive as a young cat, drawn to the island's collaborative fishing communities. Starting as a newcomer, you'll contribute to shared knowledge, participate in community events, and uncover the mysteries hidden beneath the water's surface.

As you progress, you will encounter cryptic clues, discover hidden fishing spots, and meet enigmatic figures who draw you deeper into the lore of Whisker Woods.

At the heart of it all is the ancient riddle of the Gold Drip, a mythical fish said to unlock eternal knowledge. If you're clever enough to catch and solve it.

Deep beneath Whisker Woods, the Guardians of the Gold Drip gather in sacred grottos, open to all who seek true knowledge. They believe the Gold Drip isn't just a fish, but a key to collective enlightenment - wisdom meant to be shared, not hoarded. Only through community dedication and shared understanding can its secrets be unlocked.

The Cat Spirit Maidens are spiritual guardians of Whisker Woods' deepest waters. Neither fully cat nor spirit, they stand at the boundary between worlds.

Some say they were once master fishers who ventured too far into forbidden waters. Others claim they are the original Whiskeratis, transformed after discovering the Silver Scale. Now they appear without warning. Near the ritual lakes. On moonlit shores. Sometimes mischievous, sometimes helpful.

Those who earn their favor gain access to sacred fishing grounds and ritual knowledge not found in any scroll. With luck, you may see one. Catch one. Or become one.

The Map

The mystical island awaits

Whisker Woods is a mysterious island shrouded in mist, ritual, and memory. It’s home to a secretive society of cats who treat fishing as something sacred. A ritual passed down through generations, whispered and never written. The landscape of the island is as varied as the legends that haunt it.

The Whispering Willow guards a hidden lake and is said to open portals to the water spirits' realm. The Moonlit Grove glows under the full moon, where the veil between worlds grows thin.

It's important to remember where decentralization comes from and what value it has.

Questions? Meet Answers.


What is Cats Fishing and how do you play?

Cats Fishing is a multiplayer fishing game where you play as cat characters in a virtual world. The core gameplay revolves around fishing on various islands, collecting items, and interacting with other players. You can catch fish, sell them at the marketplace, or have them cooked at a restaurant to maintain your cat's Health Points (HP). The game blends fun narrative similar to titles like Animal Crossing with a blockchain-based economy.


What makes this different from other mobile games?

Your progress is permanently yours through proof-of-play technology. No servers shutting down, no lost accounts, no corporate decisions wiping out years of achievements. We focus on creating sustainable economics to reward player skill and loyalty over speculation, targeting a diverse gaming community beyond the typical Web3 audience.


How does the inheritance model work?

Your fishing achievements, cabin, and rare items become permanent digital assets that can be passed down generations. Unlike traditional games where progress dies with servers, your Whisker Woods legacy lives forever.


Why Status Network instead of other blockchains?

Status Network's gasless infrastructure means truly FREE gaming - no transaction fees ever. Plus SNT integration provides governance rights and community benefits that grow with the ecosystem.


How does monetization work?

Status Network’s gasless infrastructure lets us build a different business model. All transaction costs are handled through backend systems. We collect revenue, but it’s not your money. Players never pay fees, but have the freedom to purchase optional cosmetics, wearables, and accessories. We also accept community donations and plan for future strategic partnerships. Sustainable economics without player extraction.


How do players level up, and why is it important?

Players gain experience (XP) from successful catches, with the amount of XP determined by fish rarity, market value, and equipment quality. Leveling up is crucial as it allows players to use better equipment and access rarer, more valuable fish.


What is the $BONE token?

The $BONE token is the primary in-game currency for the Cats Fishing ecosystem. It is used for all in-game transactions, such as buying and selling fish, purchasing equipment, and paying for in-game services.


Is the $BONE token an investment?

No. The whitepaper explicitly states that the $BONE token is intended solely for in-game utility and entertainment. It does not represent any form of ownership, equity, or investment interest in the Cats Fishing project. There are no guarantees of its future value, profitability, or liquidity.


How do players earn $BONE tokens?

Playing! The primary way for players to earn $BONE is by catching fish and selling them to the in-game restaurants. The price of fish is determined by dynamic algorithms that consider supply and demand within the game.


What can players spend $BONE tokens on?

$BONE tokens are used for various in-game expenditures, creating a balanced economic cycle. Key uses include:

  • Upgrading Equipment: Purchasing better fishing gear to access more valuable fish.
  • Health Point (HP) Management: Buying cooked fish from restaurants to maintain a cat's HP, which is necessary for fishing activities.
  • Marketplace Purchases: Transacting for various in-game items in the marketplace.

How is the supply of $BONE tokens managed?

The game plans to use a capped supply of $BONE tokens to foster a stable in-game economy. The token distribution is designed to support long-term growth, with allocations for community incentives, the development team, ecosystem growth, and sales. A significant portion is allocated to community rewards to ensure a vibrant economy.


How is the fish population managed to prevent overfishing?

The game employs a sophisticated supply mechanism. While players catching fish depletes the population, a "birth process" regenerates fish at a variable rate, λI​(t). This regeneration rate is algorithmically adjusted to balance the number of fish being caught, aiming to maintain a stable population over time.


How are fish prices determined?

Fish prices are dynamic and calculated based on their current supply. The game uses pricing functions, such as exponential or constant elasticity models, where the price of a fish in $BONE tokens will increase as its supply decreases. Prices are also influenced by attributes like rarity and freshness.


What is the HP (Health Points) system and why is it important for the economy?

Cats need to eat cooked fish to maintain their HP, which is consumed during fishing. This creates a constant need for players to spend $BONE tokens to buy food, acting as a crucial "token sink" that helps stabilize the economy by ensuring tokens are regularly spent for continued gameplay.


What are transaction fees used for?

Small fees are applied to in-game transactions, such as selling fish or buying equipment. These fees are directed to an in-game treasury, with a portion potentially being used for token burns (to reduce supply) and another portion funding community events and game improvements.


What are the benefits of staking $BONE tokens?

Players who choose to stake their $BONE tokens can receive in-game benefits, which may include reduced transaction fees, access to new fishing areas, and exclusive equipment. Staking also grants limited governance rights on certain in-game parameters.


What do the governance rights from staking allow me to do?

Governance rights are strictly limited to in-game and ecosystem-related decisions. For example, players with staked tokens may be able to vote on adjustments to fishing rates or the scheduling of community events. These rights do not grant any ownership, profit-sharing, or dividend rights in the project itself.
